Completed in July 2015, a contemporary barn conversion in the heart of the Dordogne valley, with stunning views across open countryside, 5 mins away from a medieval town with at least 6 good restaurants, shops etc. Sleeps 6 comfortably but there is a sofa bed which accommodates a further 2 people.

If you fancy staying somewhere different for a change then why not try our newly completed contemporary barn conversion. We are situated in the heart of the countryside so a car is essential. We have beautiful views across the valley but are 5 mins away from many restaurants, cafes, bars and shops and the medieval towns and villages that the area is famous for. The local medieval town is just 10 mins away by car with at least 6 good restaurants, shops etc and has year round festivals. There are also nocturnal markets held in the town gardens every Thursday evening throughout July and August.
The barn was built in 1945 just after World War 2 and was built out of the traditional flint that this area of the Dordogne is famous for. We have now transformed it into a contemporary spacious building but still retaining it's character. The barn accommodates 6 people comfortably but there is an additional sofa bed for 2 children thereby increasing the accommodate to 8. There are 2 double bedrooms and a twin room - one of the doubles has an en-suite bathroom. There is also a family bathroom. The sofa bed is only large enough for 2 extra children. We have wi-fi internet, English & French satellite TV and there is an ipod docking station. Cooling fans are in all 3 bedrooms for the summer and there is heating for the winter.
There is a West facing patio and BBQ provided, the patio catches the sun from midday until sunset and the pool is next to the barn so it's handy for cooling off. The pool is solar heated and can reach temperatures of 28-30 degrees in the summer, and sits in an acre of private garden. There is also secure gated off road parking. In the adjoining small barn you will find a games room/laundry room equipped with a full size billiard table and table tennis, there is also a washing machine and drying towers for your laundry.
The area is really quite and a long way from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A holiday in our barn will give you the best of both worlds - a quite relaxing break, or the chance to get out and explore the area as there is enough to see and do here to fill every day - the choice is up to you!

For family fun days out there is Rouffiac which is a large fresh water lake (lifeguard on duty throughout the summer) together with a white sandy beach, where you can do numerous watersports or just go for long walks round the nature reserve, there is also toilets and changing room facilities together with a cafe and restaurant so everything is on hand for a good day out. There are also many chateaux and medieval villages in the area all well worth a visit, one in particular being Segur-le-Chateau which has the accolade of one of the most beautiful villages in France, there are cafes, bars and restaurants here all perched along a river front together with marked hiking trails through the village and a weekly producers market throughout the summer on a Monday morning.

As described, lovely quiet location to get away from it all. Hosts responsive and flexible from the very first contact. Steven and Susan were great to interact with and made us feel very welcome. PS they also do B&B and provide three course meals (looking good)!

Philippe2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

Beautiful accommodation in a bucolic ... First winter experience for our guest. The accommodation is not suitable to face the harsh winter, heating is too inefficient. But I recommend this property for the beautiful days.

Bruno2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

An excellent week in this well appointed home with every comfort, a little bonus for the calm and beautiful view of the surrounding countryside from the terrace. And then you have to report a warm welcome from Sue and Steeve! We also appreciated the English breakfast! A big thank-you

La Wee Maison is perfect for a small family or couple looking to get away. The location is secluded, and perfect if you want to get away form the city. The Maison is located on Julie's farm so there are lots of animals around! Julie nd her family keep to themselves, but are available if you need anything and are very helpful and accomodating. The closest village or town is a 10 minute drive, or a 30 minute hilly bike ride. We hired bikes from a local company that Julie recommended and they delivered them to the house the same afternoon. If you're looking for a cycling holiday, and enjoy cycling, this is a good location; however if you're not a professional it is a difficult ride up some very steep hills! The house itself is lovely and cool inside in the summer. There are a few games and books around, but no TV (the wifi is great!). We found that we had everything we needed and was great to have a welcome pack of bread, jam coffee (and wine!) that Julie provided. All in all a great holiday and a lovely peaceful few days!

A lovely chalet on an idyllic campsite - so quiet and tranquil. All you can hear is birds. The chalet had a private garden, sauna, outdoor eating and sun bathing space, as well as the usual kitchen/bathroom/living room things. Plus superb Dutch hosts, happy to meet you and show you round, and bring breakfast round in the morning! We'd stay again for sure.

This studio is set In a rural landscape with the town Saint Yrieix la Perche and the Chateau of Coussac Bonneval a few kilometres away. The location is good for walking, cycling, and discovering the medieval past of this area. There are porcelain factory shops in the town. The Chateau and National Anglo-Arab stud at Pompadour is only about a 25mins.drive. . The Medieval 'Belle Village of Segur le Chateau is a must to visit, only a short drive away.

Even though the studio has only one room with an en-suite guests have plenty of outside space to make use of.

This location is very quiet and the woods at the back of the house have plenty of birds and sometimes even deer which can be interesting to see.

Very nice

Philippe2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

Conforms to description. Calm. Too bad the TV did not work at the beginning of the stay but Malcolm changed the antenna.

karine2017-07-20T00:00:00Z

House very nice according to the announcement

valerie2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

Good stay at Malcolm, good welcome. The accommodation corresponds to the announcement.

Very comfortable bed. Lovely host. We had the bathroom to ourselves as no one else was staying, so that was nice. The centre of town was a little further from Ria's house than we hoped, so we did end up driving in for dinner, although it would be walkable in about half an hour. At breakfast, Ria mentioned that she used to own a farm and hosted 'Ferme Auberge' dinners there, so next time we would definitely take up her offer of home cooked dinner!

Shona2017-07-19T00:00:00Z

Ria is a most interesting person and an excellent host. I had a great stay.

laurent2017-01-31T00:00:00Z

The gite was absolutely delightful, a perfectly peaceful location and great for a family break. Christele was very welcoming and when we were struggling to find the gite, she came to meet us in the local town of Payzac. The pool was lovely and great for keeping the kids entertained, and the terraced area was great for al fresco dining! In all we had a great time at Clos Saint Venant and hopento return again soon!

Sarah2016-06-10T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay in a nice room and in a green setting conducive to walking. A big thank you to the hosts for their hospitality, advice and nice touches (fireplace lit on arrival, pool preparation early in the season to please the children ...). Anyway ... we highly recommend the Clos Saint-Venant.
